Addressing the Council of State on Monday, July 7, 2025, the president described the ongoing processes on the petitions for the removal of Justice Torkornoo, who he suspended after the determination of a prima facie case by the council, as a "difficult issue" faced in the sixth month of his government.
He said that the council did its job and now awaits the findings of the 5-member committee hearing the petitions, which is chaired by Supreme Court judge, Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang. "On the issue of governance, we have had a difficult issue with regard the suspension of the Chief Justice.
